<h1>Enabling time series animation in an Interactive Bubble Graph widget</h1>
<p>For an introduction to the Interactive Bubble Graph widget, see 
<a HREF="Bubble_widget.htm">Defining 
 an Interactive Bubble Graph widget</a>.</p>
<p>When time series animation is enabled in the widget, analysts can see 
 an animation that plots the bubble values through time. To see this kind 
 of animation, the analyst can move the time slider or click the animation 
 play button. To enable time-series animation in the graph, a designer 
 must place a third attribute at the far left of the Grid/Graph's rows. 
 </p>
